“Citizen is The Leader (Sonnet)
I have made a few amendments in my own canon,
I don't mean going back and removing passages,
as if they never existed, for that's deception,
rather I point out my errors myself, so you know,
I ain't infallible, on occasion I have been wrong.
My main two mistakes were with America 'n soldiers,
I looked upon both with respect in my early years,
until it dawned on me, America is a terrorist state,
and all soldiers are mere puppets to warmongers.
All governments are a facade,
all politicians are merely actors.
In a civilized world citizen is the leader,
obsolete is the profession of world leaders.
In a civilized world I could spend my days writing
mushy poetry, sparing the headache of human rights.
But alas, that is not the case, hence, I'm restless,
sleepless, vacationless, in kindling the human light.”

“Citizen Vain (The Sonnet)
All the law in the world cannot bring order,
In a society where the citizens are indifferent.
A citizen responsible is a society responsible,
A citizen on guard is a society with upliftment.
If the citizen can't tell right from wrong on their own,
It's not order but merely a revolting illusion of order.
Take away all punishment and you shall soon find out,
Law only forces repression, not reformation of disorder.
Without an actual reformation of the citizen's mind,
Sooner or later all nations end up in fundamentalist dump.
Pay less attention to law, and more attention to education,
Humanizing education is the only cure for the hoodlums.
In a world full of citizen vain, be a citizen vanguard!
There can be no order, unless the citizens stand on guard.”

Citizenry is the answer.
When citizenry decides on peace,
Albeit reluctant, world leaders wither.
I know no constitution but conscience,
I know no tradition but compassion.
Belonging is my Bible, kindness is my Quran -
The living need no handbook to right and wrong.
Recognition or no recognition,
Human never forgets to be human.
The entire Abhijit Naskar legacy
was created without any recognition.
Then why did I continue you ask,
Because I never wrote for admiration.
I write to provide shelter to all,
And electrify their veins into action.
Whining might suit the spineless,
Bravehearts are ever vigilant in duty.
Once you make people your life's cause,
Nothing can diminish your tenacity.”

Americans admire George Washington and Jefferson, but imprison those who share their political opinions.”
